... loading from flute to contrabass the most common instruments into one instance of VI or Kontakt, for example something like that:
channel 01 Flute
channel 02 Oboe
channel 04 Englishhorn
channel 05 Clarinets
channel 06 Trumpets
channel 07 Trombone
channel 08 Tuba
channel 09 Timpani
channel 10 Percussion
channel 11 String Ensemble
channel 12 Violins I
channel 13 Violins II
channel 14 Violas
channel 15 Violoncelli
channel 16 Contrabass
... and then for fast layout work push one of the 16 MIDIchannel button on the keyboard and go into record.
Questions:
- Does it make sense to work like that, or does anyone see any problems?
- What MIDI keyboard has 16 MIDI buttons, one for each channel for fast change of MIDI channel send.
- For channel 11 String Ensemble, what is a good polyphonic patch which connects the notes? (not triggering each time a to slow attack)
